All Chapters of Rejected Luna: The Alpha's Cruelest Mistake: Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

Mirael’s POV:“You are nothing but a mistake I have been forced to live with for five years!”Riven’s voice boomed through the Moon Festival hall. I stood frozen with my hand still reaching toward him. The glass of whiskey I had carried across the room for him slipped from my fingers. It shattered at my feet. Red liquid sprayed across the hem of my emerald gown.Liora Kane burst out laughing. “Finally someone says what we all think.”The music died. Pack members stopped dancing. Every eye turned to us. I swallowed hard. “Riven please. Not here. Not tonight of all nights.”He stepped forward. His scar caught the moonlight and made his face look even colder. “Why not here Mirael? Let them all hear it. Five years of this arranged disaster and you have given me nothing I wanted.”I knelt to pick up the biggest glass shards. A piece cut deep into my palm. Blood mixed with the spilled whiskey. “I have tried. Every single day I have tried to be what this pack needs.”“Tried?” Riven towered o

Mirael’s POV:“Stay down Mirael. Do not move.”Riven’s command came sharp as the first wave of rogues crashed into the warrior line. I stayed on my knees in the dirt. Blood from my lost child continued to soak through the bandages and my torn gown. The pain made it hard to breathe.The rogue leader pointed straight at me. “She is ours.

Come now before more blood is spilled.”I clutched my stomach. “My mother is dead. How do you know these things?” He dodged

Mirael’s POV:“Vesper?” Riven dropped his blade completely. It clattered on the ground near my knees. “You are alive.”The woman with cold eyes stepped closer. Her silver-streaked hair matched the moonlight. She looked at Riven like she had never left. “I survived the attack your family caused Blackthorn. I came back for what belongs to me.”I stayed on my knees in the blood-soaked dirt. Pain pulsed through my body from the loss earlier tonight. “This can’t be real. Five years of you haunting us and now you stand here alive.”Vesper laughed softly. “Haunting you? I was surviving while you played house in my position Mirael Lockwood.”Elias protectively closer to me. “Vesper Kane. I knew your family had ties to the Blackthorns. This changes nothing. Mirael is coming with us.” Riven ignored everyone else. He walked straight to Vesper. “I mourned you. I rejected Mirael because of your memory.”Vesper touched his arm. “I know. I heard the rejection tonight. Beautiful work. She bled for i
